Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam or microwave broccoli florets until tender but not mushy. Chop into small pieces and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese sauce, then fold in the chopped broccoli. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a clean, lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the broccoli and cheese filling into the center of each pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of each puffle with the egg wash.
Transfer the puffles to the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffles are golden brown and fully puffed.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
